The first time I met Ruthie my husband and I were looking for a place to retire to. He had met Barry and Ruthie before I did. We quickly became fast friends. Between keeping an eye on the "boys" as they worked on the cars or lawnmowers. Or the kids playing basketball. Ruthie and I cheered for the then"Redskins"!! Barry rooted for the Eagles. They came to Will's funeral and helped with the repast. I know that they are together in heaven along with Baby Girl and Sheba. They are sorely missed and were deeply loved. Thanks for letting us know and love your family.
